Starting XIM

Start XIM on each OS/390 or z/OS image that processes work for Change Manager.

Before you begin

Before you start XIM, ensure the following items:

• The STEPLIB library is APF authorized
• The XIM started task name is unique for each version of the solution if both of the following conditions exist:
  • You have installed the worklist parallelism feature of the Database Administration solution in one environment (for example, production).
  • You later install a new version of the solution in a different environment (for example, test).

• the XIM started task procedure name that is specified on the Execution Worklist Parallelism Options panel matches the name of the started task

  For information about specifying the procedure name, see the ALTER and CHANGE MANAGER documentation.

To start XIM

To start XIM, issue the following command: /S XIMACM

XIMACM is the name of the started task. The XIMACM procedure is located in a system PROCLIB data set. (When the component was installed, the procedure should have been copied to this data set.)

Under the following conditions, the Execution function of the solution attempts to start XIM automatically on the image on which Execution is running:

• XIM is not started.
• You attempt to execute a worklist that has worklist parallelism enabled.
• The XIMSTART YES parameter is specified in the AEXPIN input stream in the execution JCL for a worklist.

XIM is not started on any image other than the image on which you submitted a job.
